Description
Shostak has been at the center of the sometimes admired, sometimes dismissed effort to pick up extraterrestrial radio communication. Shostak will discuss the challenges of trying to detect alien communications and the practical questions of contact: Would alien societies communicate via radio or something more advanced? How could we understand what they were saying? Would it be safe and proper to reply, and who would decide what to say back? Join us as we probe these questions and more.More Info
